my guess not a diagnosis is no not an alter. my reasoning is that the new diagnostics state the problem can not be because of a substance like alcohol. therefore if the problem only happens when you have been drinking the treatment providers must diagnose it as an alcohol related problem. here in my location when diagnosing DID or OSDD treatment providers require a person to be clean and sober for at least a year with no alcohol related problems.

my suggestion for actual diagnosis contact your or a treatment provider in your off the computer location. they will be able to tell you the differences between alcohol related dissociative like symptoms (other wise called residual affects, side effects from drinking) and actual dissociative disorders.
